Oh, God I know how that shit is! Fucking pain, physical and mental. LoL

And as far as converting a 70 - 150 watt HPS flood light into a growlight is cheaper than you think. Like, a 150 watt HPS flood light you can buy, offline, from Lowes for $79. Here's the link; http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...SRC&lpage=none

Not sure if it'll be available local to you, but you can get an idea as to the price of them from that. I like the flood light fixtures anyway --- they provide protection to the plant from the bulb in the event it comes too close.

Oh, and you shouldn't be afraid to top them. Plants are resilient, perhaps more resilient than us. Just make sure that the strain takes to topping at all. If it's just bagseed, chances are it will and you'll be blessed with many heads.
